OMNIVIS 2007
The SEVENTH WORKSHOP on OMNIDIRECTIONAL VISION
CAMERA NETWORKS and NON-CLASSICAL CAMERAS
http://www.deec.uc.pt/~omni07
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to announce OMNIVIS'2007, the Seventh Workshop on
Omnidirectional Vision, Camera Networks and Non-classical Cameras,
to be held on October 20th in conjunction with ICCV 2007 in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil. The OMNIVIS'2007 Workshop continues a series of
workshops started in 2000. The aim of the workshop is to bring together
researchers interested in networked, distributed, and omnidirectional
vision.
Contributions are sought on new and original research on any aspect
of omnidirectional vision and camera networks, including novel sensor
design, panoramic vision applications, and scalable algorithms for
large-scale camera networks. All papers will be subject to a double-blind
review process which will be carried out by a Program Committee of
leading international researchers.
In addition to a focus on any aspect of omnidirectional cameras or
non-classical cameras, contributions are sought for new and original
research on problems associated with large-scale networks of cameras.
Low-powered camera chips, advances in wireless technology and
longer-life batteries will allow for deployment of networks of
wireless camera nodes for surveillance, tele-immersion, environmental
modeling, entertainment and for use in exploration by teams of
persons or robots with mounted cameras. Success has been made in the
field of sensor networks for comparatively low-bandwidth sensors,
however, scaling up to the bandwidth required by imagery sources is
not yet solved. Furthermore, many of the problems faced in the
wireless setting are still open for large-scale, wired camera
networks.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Omnidirectional cameras
- calibration
- structure-from-motion
- visual servoing
- image processing
- applications
* Non-classical sensors
- algorithms and calibration
- novel, application-tailored designs
* Large- (>1000) and medium-scale (10-1000) camera networks
- decentralized algorithms robust to node failures
- continuous calibration, e.g., of non-stationary camera networks
- camera deployment and distributed calibration
- applications: surveillance, tele-immersion, intelligent environments

Submission Policy:
-------------------
Dual submissions with ICCV are explicitly allowed, with the
understanding that if the paper gets accepted to ICCV, it will
automatically be withdrawn from OMNIVIS. The ICCV rebuttal phase
will be before OMNIVIS submission, so authors will have the
opportunity to submit a (possibly revised) version of their
ICCV submission to OMNIVIS after seeing their ICCV reviews.
Dual submissions with ICCV must be clearly identified as such,
and must include the ICCV paper number. In case the OMNIVIS
submission is different from ICCV submission, a list of changes
should be included (in case both version get reviewed by the
same person).
Submission Format:
------------------
The OMNIVIS proceedings will be published by IEEE together with
the ICCV proceedings. Therefore the submission must follow the
IEEE format.For each accepted paper it will be allocated 6 pages
in the proceedings, with the option of purchasing up to 2 extra
pages for 0 per page.
Papers will be reviewed double-blind and therefore submitted
papers should be strictly anonymous; reviewers should not be
able to infer author's identity from the article.
